Vancouver to Rock Island Fish Camp.
Sunday, July 17, 2016 1-I am on my way to my destination via the scenic route. Less traveled and more scenic than the main freeway. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 2-It takes little getting used to when the metric system is used. ![]() ![]() 3-I made a stop for gas and found some great inexpensive jazz CDs. ![]() ![]() Prices are of course per litter. About 1/4th of a gallon. 4- The “service station” was very impressive as to what they had available for sale. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 5-More road pictures. ![]() ![]() ![]() 6-On the way I passed by this place and had to make “uee” and see what is all about. I was not disappointed. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 7-These are manmade rest stops for the salmon. ![]() ![]() ![]() 8-There was a visitor center that included a theater showing the life of salmon as well as the ever-present gift shop and a place to eat. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 9-After the pit stop at Hell’s Gate, I continued northward. ![]() 10-A stop to have some food and stretch my legs. ![]() ![]() 11-More road pictures. Could not get enough of river scenery. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 12-A cow ranch in the distance. ![]() 13-Large green pastures as far as eye could see at times. ![]() On the way I encountered some heavy down pour and as well as sunny skies. 14-There were many signs warning about deer and moos crossing. Sure enough I saw a deer. ![]() 15-A huge lake on the way. ![]() 16-So many lakes that it will take a life time to fish them all. Maybe more. ![]() 17-I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel as I get off road to a service road. ![]() ![]() 18-As I turn to the forestry service road, right away I see a rabbit. I am in the wilderness my friend. ![]() ![]() ![]() At this point the Garmin was not helpful since the road is service road and not an asphalted (I guess). I was driving a compact car with low clearance. My cell phone was inoperative in Vancouver and even if it did work, there are no signals here. As I made several wrong turns and road became full of pot holes with water in them, I got nervous. If I get stuck in the mud, there is no way I can contact anybody, unless I walk. I kept back tracking and finally I took the right road and……… 19-…..SAW ![]() TO BE CONTINUED…. |
